Creed – Rain

Rain (Single)
Creeds’ second single taken from, Full Circle, their 2009 album, is Rain. At 3 ½ minutes long, this isn’t a short song, but seems to pass quickly, which for me is a mark of an easy to listen to track. It sees the band picking up from where they left off before their split and sounds fresh, rather than repackaged material that you sometimes get after a band reforms.
Although it’s melodic song with an acoustic guitar intro, Rain, as you would come to expect from a band of Creeds’ stature, has a big, heavy sound. The powerful and stand out vocals of Scott Stapp help to produce a rock sound out of what seems to be a sadness tinged song. Despite coming from Florida in South East USA, his vocal style could just have been easily been have been honed in the grunge filled North West.
I expect this song to attract interest of fans of bands like Pearl Jam, and give the band some new fans that weren’t there first time round.
It looks like the break has done the boys well though, and looking forward to hearing more from Creed in the future. Gonna have to go and get the album now.
Words: Wullie Marr
